The trouble I've found is that there are no 'clean' numbers in the US, all numbers get spam calls. Pick any number and you'll get unexpected calls on it.

- ftyers 3y agoIn the US, it's safest to only accept calls from numbera you've got in your contacts list.
- hospitalJail 3y agoYep, voicemail catches the rest, transcribe means I'm only bothered for seconds reading a spam message.
- edent 3y agoThat sounds like a nightmare. But, at least with this method you'll know if your "credit card" calls you on the wrong number.
- satellite2 3y agoAssuming uniform distribution of spam calls, wouldn't you just get twice as much "credit card" spam calls? (With half of the calls easily identifiable as fake but still more painful than just the normal amount of spam calls)
- edent 3y agoSome of is live in countries with semi-decent telco regulators. The number of spam calls & texts I receive in the UK is minimal. I suggest lobbying your politicians or moving somewhere with better enforcement.
- annoyingnoob 3y agoAfter a decade or more of serious spam call issues, there is finally some enforcement, some. It has gotten better but far from how things were before VoIP. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STIR/SHAKEN https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STIR/SHAKEN
